Posted 1 year agoA former coworker invited me to try a class at Mark Cherico's Marital Arts & Fitness Academy last January. I have been hooked ever since. I started knowing nothing about martial arts and was not in the best of shape. The instructors are talented and passionate at what they teach. The classes are well organized. The more advanced students are always willing to work with us newbies to help us understand and improve our technique. No one is judgmental at this gym. I have learned a great deal since I started. I enjoyed the instructors and the gym so much that I signed my son up shortly after I joined. He has also be taking classes at the academy for almost a year now. At the age of five he is learning important life skills such as discipline, self defense and fitness. My three year old daughter even takes the occasional class. It is a family type atmosphere. Your fellow students will be like a second family in no time at all. Thanks for a great gym and programs.
Posted 10 years agoThis is an absolutely fantastic gym. If you want to learn how to defend yourself or train to be a champion in various forms of martial arts, this is the gym you need to be at. It will take your training to the next level. Everyone is incredibly accepting and kind. It is a family friendly atmosphere so anyone can comfortably train here. I love being apart of the Academy and I’m thankful I’ve found such an amazing place to train.
Posted 5 years agoWe have our 2 boys in the Little Ninjas class and they love it! Coach Khama is so great with the kids, perfect balance of support and encouragement while pushing each kid to their potential (with so much patience)! Khama and Nicole are truly invested in the families who attend this gym. It’s a very positive environment. We recommend it to anyone looking for a place to get their kids involved.
Posted 3 years agoGreat gym!! My son attends the Little Ninjas class. The instructors are great with the kids. They do a great job catering to each of the kids learning styles and skill level. The ladies only fitness program is wonderful! This program is great for any fitness level, beginner or experienced. You are pushed to work hard, and you get great results!!
